March 13, 2022 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Honey Mustard Green Beans with Salami are a side dish that's nice enough for a special meal, but easy to make and oh, so delicious! Click here to join the Overtime Cook WhatsApp Status, for exclusive recipes, tips and content! Some recipes are carefully planned. Other recipes, like this one, are created because I need a way to use something up.  Recently, I was thinking about how to make green beans that I had, and I looked to my fridge for inspiration. And there it was! See, I recently made a recipe for my column in mishpacha magazine, and it used a log of salami. I was in Costco, and bought a two pack of salami logs, figuring I would find some way to use the other one. But it … [Read more...]

October 27, 2021 by overtimecook 1 Comment

Roasted Acorn Squash with Crispy Chickpeas is the perfect (and super easy!) fall side dish! Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? It’s full of recipes, kitchen tips, menus and more! Click here to sign up. Recently, my husband and I were having a discussion about how my cooking has changed since we got married. I think he was surprised to hear that it had changed, at all. But think about it... would he really know? So how did it change? There are some minor changes, but also a few big ones. One big one is that my husband really does not like bone-in chicken. He'll eat it, but when he does, he definitely prefers white meat. Which is super weird to me because bone-in … [Read more...]

Healthy Recipe Roundup

April 9, 2018 by overtimecook 2 Comments

The Ultimate Healthy Recipe Roundup to help with your weight loss and health resolutions! Is there a time of the year, more than these post-pesach days, when people are more focused on eating healthy and paying more attention to their diets? No, I don't think so either. Aside from any over-indulgences we may have enjoyed over the holiday, I think there's also a "fresh start" aspect. Before passover, we clean all the food out of our kitchens. Over the holiday, we buy our pesach food. Then when pesach is over and real life starts again, we need to restock. And now, the choice is ours. Do we stuff our pantries with crackers and cookies and all kinds of junk? Or do we load our shelves up … [Read more...]

Roasted Broccoli and Red Onion

May 10, 2016 by overtimecook 6 Comments

Roasted Broccoli and Red Onions is a quick-and-easy side dish that you'll make over and over again.  Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! It's time for an admission. I'm not a cheap person at all. In fact, I kinda wish I were a bit more cheap from time to time. But this is one of those cases where I thought cheaply, because fresh (checked) broccoli is pretty pricy, while onions....well, they aren't. So I stretched one package of fresh broccoli into a much bigger side dish, (Feel free to add extra onions to the mix!) and in the process, I discovered that red onions are a delicious side kick to the roasted … [Read more...]

Roasted Green Beans with Onion Garlic

December 26, 2013 by overtimecook 18 Comments

Roasted Green Beans are a delicious side dish that's perfect for someone who's eating healthy! You know how I said in my last post that I find myself eating lots of the same foods, turning to old favorites, and keeping my food under my new diet pretty simple? Well then I started to think to myself...maybe some of these old favorites are simple, but who's to say y'all wouldn't enjoy some of these recipes? Well I took an informal poll on Instagram and Facebook, asking if you folks were interested in the recipe for these roasted green beans. Turns out, lots of you wanted it! So tonight I am sharing one of my favorite veggie recipes. And by that I mean, this is how my mother always … [Read more...]
